tired early but the President and male
members OF his escort sat for couple o

experiences. The President was frequently
summoned to the platform during the even.
ing to receive greetings of country people
who seemed to be wide awake all along the
line. The train made no stops, but the
President appeared wherever there was q
crowd and courteously acknowledged its
salutes. The sun was just streaklng the
pink when all hands were called this morn

dominant Ceres Imperatrice" to the
multitudinous and varied welcomes, all

the corn field. was explained in
detail and it's conception, history and
construction described by the parties con-

the Palace the visitors were conducted
through the town. which seemed to he con-

Mammoth triumphal arches still spanned
the chief thoroughfares. Signs Of sections
of corn ears and awnings, verandas, and in
some cases entire fronts OF corn draped out
with squashes and pumpkins, were as their
architects had planned and made them.

during the forenoon's ride to Omaha, where
new scenes and new novelties claimed the
attention. The ride down the Missouri
valley from Sioux City through endless

ON THE WAY TO KANSAS CITY.
KANSAS CITY, October 12.-The train
was fully three quarters OF an hour behind
time when it got away from Omaha. At
PIattsneuta, Hamburg and other places
people we're out in force. Artillery, church
he,ls and steam whistles heralded
their arrival at St. Joe. The Mayor and
Reception Committee received the F1es'- res
dent and escorted him to carriage. Inc
nrocession then started up town. The
streets were handsomely decorated and
the crowds for the most part orderly ex-
ceut on return to the depot, when the crush
caused a frantic attempt of thousands OF
people to get into close quarters with the
President.
AN ACCIDENT.
What might have been very serious
one occurred just before the party reached
| the hotel. At Ninth and Broadway, two
cable trains were standing close to
each other. The cable had been broken
during the day and the strands been
wrapped with wire. The grip OF the second
train was entangled in the threads ana
starting up, crowded into the first train.
The Presidents carriage was twenty feet
bev ond the track when this happened; else
his safety and that OF his wife would nave
been imperiled.
